pressure can briefly rise to approximately
500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the tire inflation

compressor during this phase.

X

Allow the tire inflation compressor to run
for five minutes. The tire should then have
attained a pressure of at least 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi).

Do not operate the tire inflation

compressor for longer than eight minutes
at a time without a break. It may otherwise
overheat.
The tire inflation compressor can be
operated again once it has cooled down.

WARNING

If after five minutes a pressure of 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi) cannot be achieved, the tire
is too badly damaged to be repaired reliably
using TIREFIT.
In this case TIREFIT cannot seal the tire
properly.
Do not drive any further.
